“…It brings not only great physical pain to patients, but also great psychological pain such as anxiety, irritability, insomnia, and so on. [3][4][5][6][7][8] A large number of literatures show that there are many methods of complementary and alternative therapies in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis, each of which has its own unique advantages. The therapeutic effects are definite.…”

“…Scapulohumeral periarthritis (SP) is a disease with chronic and specific inflammatory change caused by degeneration and strain of muscle, ligament, tendon, synovial capsule and joint capsule around shoulder joint. The incidence of scapulohumeral periarthritis is 2% to 5%, [1][2][3][4] accounting for about 42% of shoulder diseases. It is more common in the middle-aged and elderly and has a younger trend at present.…”

“…With the progress of the disease, it can be transformed into persistent and severe pain, usually aggravated at night, which can seriously affect sleep. [3][4][5][6] It is often accompanied by limitation of movement, [3,8] even accompanied by different degrees of deltoid muscle atrophy. [9] Scapulohumeral periarthritis is a chronic disease with a long course, severe shoulder pain, limited movement and a high disability rate, which makes patients suffer extreme pain, prone to insomnia, anxiety and other psychological problems, seriously affecting the quality of life.…”

Background: Scapulohumeral periarthritis is a disease with high incidence and great pain. The current western treatments with many side effects, poor efficacy cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Complementary and alternative therapies have played an excellent role in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis. However, it is not clear which complementary and alternative therapy is more effective. Therefore, we propose a protocol to compare the efficacy and safety of various complementary and alternative therapies through network meta-analysis (NMA) to provide choice guidance for the therapy. Methods: A comprehensive search will be conducted for randomized controlled trials of complementary and alternative therapy for scapulohumeral periarthritis as well as ongoing trials. The time limit is from the establishment of the database until January 2021. Literature and data extraction were completed independently by two researchers. Through pairwise comparison and meta-analysis of Bayesian NMA, all the evidences are evaluated comprehensively. STATA16.0 and WinBUGS1.4.3 software will be used for data processing and analysis, and recommendation evaluation will be used to develop and assess grades to classify the quality of NMA evidence. Results: Through the analysis, we will obtain the ranking of the efficacy and safety of different complementary and alternative therapies in the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis, in order to provide reference for clinical selection of treatment methods. Conclusion: Complementary and alternative therapies of scapulohumeral periarthritis plays a positive role in improving the symptoms of scapulohumeral periarthritis. This study can provide evidence support for clinicians and patients. International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols registration number: INPLASY202140044.
